Background  We present an approach designed to identify gene regulation patterns using sequence and expression data collected for  Saccharomyces cerevisae . Our main goal is to relate the combinations of transcription factor binding sites (also referred to as binding site modules) identified in gene promoters to the expression of these genes. The novel aspects include local expression similarity clustering and an exact IF-THEN rule inference algorithm. We also provide a method of rule generalization to include genes with unknown expression profiles.    Results  We have implemented the proposed framework and tested it on publicly available datasets from yeast  S. cerevisae . The testing procedure consists of thorough statistical analyses of the groups of genes matching the rules we infer from expression data against known sets of co-regulated genes. For this purpose we have used published ChIP-Chip data and Gene Ontology annotations. In order to make these tests more objective we compare our results with recently published similar studies.    Conclusion  Results we obtain show that local expression similarity clustering greatly enhances overall quality of the derived rules, both in terms of enrichment of Gene Ontology functional annotation and coherence with ChIP-Chip binding data. Our approach thus provides reliable hypotheses on co-regulation that can be experimentally verified. An important feature of the method is its reliance only on widely accessible sequence and expression data. The same procedure can be easily applied to other microbial organisms.
